Algeria's non-hydrocarbon exports are on course to exceed $7 billion this year, according to Ali Bay Nasri, vice president of the National Association of Algerian Exporters, who says new markets and new products are redrawing the country's export map.

The figure is an industry forecast. The official number for 2025 is $5.16 billion, up about $972 million on the previous year, as Trade Minister Kamel Rezig told the Council of the Nation on 5 November. Officials have previously cited about $5 billion for 2026. Bank of Algeria data show an uneven trend, from $5.9 billion in 2022 to $3.84 billion in 2024.

Bay Nasri said the number of destination countries has risen from 33 to 57. Food and farm products still lead, but exporters are now selling electrical equipment such as generators and compressors, home appliances, pharmaceuticals, and construction materials including cement, ceramics, gypsum and paints. Road and public-works machinery built with global brands under technology-transfer partnerships is also entering the list.

Dates show how the shift looks on the ground. Earnings rose from $78.06 million in 2024 to $98.32 million in 2025, and reached about $75 million in the first half of 2026. The Skikda port authority said 5,500 tonnes of dates had left through the port by 31 October, with another 400 tonnes being loaded in temperature-controlled containers.

Logistics are part of the plan. A 200-hectare free-trade zone in Tindouf is due to open before the end of 2026 to boost trade with Mauritania and West Africa. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune set a target of $10 billion in non-oil exports in April 2025.

Hydrocarbons still dominate Algeria's foreign sales, with $37.5 billion earned in the first nine months of 2026, according to the energy minister.
